Udev doesn't create sd* devices in /dev

Today I updated udev package and after it I can't start my system. The booting stops with the message about check filesystem manually. When I tried to do this I couldn't find any sd* devices in /dev. Kernel detects all drives and correspond files presents in /sys/block directory. I can make device files with mknod command using information from /sys.
How do I make udev to create device files in /dev?

Sorry for bad English.

I just have read udev created device files in /dev according /dev/disk information. But I have no this directory! What script creates it?

Re: Udev doesn't create sd* devices in /dev

I just found one more interesting thing. When I test udev rules by "udevadm test /block/sdb/sdb2" udev creates correct device files - /dev/disk/ dev/block and /dev/sd*. But at daemon mode - udevd --daemon it doesn't do anything!
Does anybody know how to fix this?

It sounds a bit like http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=90891, which is apparently solved now.

Good ideas do not need lots of lies told about them in order to gain public acceptance.
